Daqin: The first emperor came to recognize his relatives, and I greeted him with a knife

Day two.

Li Si came to Wang Jian's home with several memorials packed in wooden boxes.

Wang Jian is playing chess with Wang Ben.

Hearing that Li Si came to look for him, he quickly got up and went out to greet him.

Li Si asked someone to lift the box up, and said, "Your Majesty wants you to see the memorials of the past few years, so that you can test his ability."

Wang Jian instantly understood.

It seems that His Majesty has already begun to take action on the selection of the prince.

Although Zhao Yang is very smart in other aspects.

But whether a qualified heir can manage state affairs still needs to be considered.

"Okay, then in what name should I give it to him?"

"Let's just say that you are acquainted with this Lord Zhao. He mainly manages these memorials in the court. Recently, His Majesty asked him to read all of them to find mistakes..."

Li Si roughly said some details and asked Wang Jian to help pass them on.

Wang Jian readily accepted.

At noon, Zhao Yang was discussing with Shu Suntong about the children's studies at home.

He is ready to teach something new.

Wang Jian came in person with the memorial.

When Zhao Yang saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he still welcomed Wang Jian in first.

"Why did General Wang come here in person?"
You must know that Wang Yuan handed over all the things about the winery to him on weekdays.

Shusun Tong also hurriedly saluted Wang Jian.

Wang Jian said his purpose of coming.

Zhao Yang nodded, his head turned quickly.

Zhao Yang had some doubts about the old man's identity before, so he decided to investigate it himself.

He did not believe that this person was just an ordinary official.

Today, Wang Jian's visit dispelled his doubts.

After all, he believed in the behavior of the Wang family, and they would never lie to him.

Whether it was due to the cooperation between the two, or because of the friendship between him and Wang Yuan, Zhao Yang was willing to help to find out what was wrong with this memorial.

"Then General Wang might as well just put the things here, and I'll check them out later."
How could someone as smart as Shusun Tong not know that this was a question His Majesty asked to test Zhao Yang.

During this period of time following Zhao Yang, he learned a lot.

Although Zhao Yang is young, he is good enough to be his teacher.

Being the lord of the world is not based on the advice of his uncle Sun Tong alone.

So Shusun Tong also wanted to know whether Zhao Yang was a qualified successor.

A Fangnu happened to come in from the door at this time, and she was stunned when she saw Wang Jian and dropped the wooden basin in her hand on the ground.

Seeing his mother's sluggish expression, Zhao Yang asked in confusion, "Mother, what's the matter?"
Afangnu recovered her senses and took a look at Zhao Yang, she shook her head with a smile, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, so I accidentally dropped my clothes."
Zhao Yang stepped forward and helped his mother up with distress.

"Mother, you don't need to work so hard now."
A Fang Nu patted his arm and said: "You also know that I can't be free, don't worry I will find some easy work to do."
Only then did Zhao Yang turn around and continue studying those memorials.

Wang Jian and A Fangnv looked at each other.

In his early years, he also met Ah Fangnu.

At that time, A Fang's appearance can be said to be astonishing, but now after years of wastage, she is no longer what she used to be.

Thousands of thoughts also drifted through A Fangnu's mind.

She knew that soon Zhao Yang would be surrounded by these court officials.

First Li Si, now Wang Jian.

All civil servants and generals came here to look for Zhao Yang.

This is definitely not just because of Zhao Yang's outstanding talent.

It seems that she must tell Zhao Yang about his biological father at a suitable time.

Otherwise, if this matter drags on in the future, if Zhao Yang knows the truth, he will probably run away from these people.

Zhao Yang was studying the memorial carefully, and didn't notice the expressions of the people beside him.

In recent years, wars, floods, and famines have continued.

Looking at the shocking numbers above, Zhao Yang also felt a little heartbroken.

He put forward some opinions of his own, which even Wang Jian agreed with very much.

However, Zhao Yang soon discovered that there were a few things that were wrong.

"In the 13th year of Qin Wangzheng, 80 people died in the Lin'an catastrophe, and 20 taels of brass was needed, but as far as I know, this is only a very small place, and the total population is not so large. A lot of money was passed around, but its whereabouts are unknown."
Zhao Yang pointed to a place in the memorial, and expressed his doubts to Wang Jian with a serious face.

As soon as Wang Jian's face changed, he immediately accepted the memorial, and it was exactly as Zhao Yang said.

"And this one, I don't know where the house was repaired, but one house used [-] brass,"

Zhao Yang casually handed him a copy.

These people are very thieves, and they write extremely small words about the use of money.

A disaster situation requires three to four bamboo slips, and the emperor needs to deal with hundreds of memorials every day.

So naturally let this group of people take advantage of the loopholes.

Wang Jian only felt that his face was hot, and Shusun Tong was also very surprised.

It seems that there are many corrupt people in this court.

As an ordinary citizen, Zhao Yang hated this practice deeply.

The money these people plundered was actually taken from these people.

"Every memorial you gave me has more or less inconsistencies with the expenditure."

Wang Jian also realized the seriousness of this matter.

He carefully put away all the memorials.

I am going to take it back and tell His Majesty about it.

"By the way, apart from taking advantage of the disaster, I think these people have also made some deductions in other places. It's best to go to the field to investigate. I guess the basic expenditure will not match the above."
The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

No matter how powerful the emperor is, it is impossible to personally manage all the places in every aspect.

So this group of people is like a local emperor in their own place.

Wang Jian nodded solemnly and said, "It's a pity that you don't want to be an official."
Zhao Yang said with a smile: "If you are an official, there are not many people who can keep their own hearts, and maybe I am the same."
Wang Jian didn't say any more, he knew that this was also a way of Zhao Yang's refusal.

But he believed that one day Zhao Yang would be willing to be an official.

A Fangnu silently observed all this, she did not expect Zhao Yang to be able to understand the memorial.

Moreover, Ying Zheng has now asked these ministers to show Zhao Yang the memorials from the court.

It seems that he is determined to make Zhao Yang the successor of Daqin.

Afangnu looked at the chattering people with a sad face.

She doesn't want her son to be the next Ying Zheng.

But this is not her final say.

Zhao Yang was very interested in these things, and he didn't resist.

Perhaps with his talent, it is impossible for him to live in this rural village all his life.

Perhaps he should have become the king admired by all.
